Why it’s more climate-wise to renovate old than to build new 🌍🔨 CapMan Real Estate acquired Koo3, located on Kansakoulukatu 3, in 2018 from the City of Helsinki and started a comprehensive renovation in 2020 to transform an old city authority department to a modern office building and a vibrant innovation center. Maintaining the spirit and history of the building was the focal point of the refurbishment and new interior design. The building now meets modern office standards both visually and technically while respecting its historical significance. ✨🏢 As a result of the renovation, the buildings primary energy demand reduced nearly 20 %. Additionally, the carbon footprint for the renovation is 18 % lower compared to a scenario where a completely new building would have been constructed. 🌱 #capman #realestate #transformation

What’s happening at CapMan Real Estate? Looking at the market, what kind of opportunities do we see and what type of sectors are we especially focusing on?

One of the most unique projects by CapMan Real Estate: transformation of the historic Red Warehouse in the heart of Copenhagen's Carlsberg City District! 🏗️✨   Once a workshop and grain warehouse, the Red Warehouse stood empty for a long period before the CapMan Real estate II Fund acquired the property in 2019. It was in a dilapidated state, but CapMan Real Estate saw the unique potential. This began a transformation process spanning a few years. The goal was to rejuvenate the building while preserving its cultural heritage and harmony with its surroundings.   Today, the old industrial property serves as a modern office building of 10,000 square meters and has been nominated for and received several acknowledgments. From an ESG-perspective, the building has been certified with BREEAM-in-Use at the Very Good level. #capman #realestate #copenhagen

Finsilva Oyj, a forest and natural capital company majority owned by CapMan Natural Capital through Dasos Capital funds, is deepening its collaboration with the Finnish energy company Pohjan Voima to increase renewable energy production on Finsilva's lands. 🔄⚡️   The strategic partnership aims to identify and develop new opportunities for wind farms, solar parks, and battery storage facilities. Five project areas have already been identified and progressed to the preliminary planning phase with the collective potential to generate an estimated 500 megawatts of wind and solar energy. Once the projects reach the investment phase, Finsilva and its owners will have the opportunity to make minority investments in the projects developed within the co-operation framework.   “Projects offer our investors the opportunity to further invest in renewable energy produced in Finland. Securing of forest sustainability and biodiversity are at the core of our activities also in the renewable energy projects,” says Sami Veijalainen, Partner at CapMan Natural Capital.   In addition to the newly identified projects, three of Pohjan Voima’s current wind farm projects are already located partially on land owned by Finsilva. #capman #renewableenergy #naturalcapital

🎙️ Recently, in Finsilva Oyj’s Luontopääoma podcast, CapMan’s CEO Pia Kåll summarised that maintaining and increasing natural capital requires investments, which in turn necessitate a market to generate returns. The second episode of the podcast trilogy focuses on what kind of market should be created for natural capital.   This topic is particularly relevant to CapMan, as the acquisition of Dasos Capital and establishment of CapMan Natural Capital as an investment area realised at the beginning of this year.   “At CapMan, the whole idea of sustainability starts from the fact that it is fully integrated into our financial operations. We view forests similarly: generating financial returns for investors and enhancing natural capital are complementary goals. Additionally, I see opportunities to develop new products beyond traditional investment areas where value chains could be ensured to be net zero or nature positive from start to finish”, Pia explains. Finsilva is a forest and natural capital company majority owned by CapMan Natural Capital through Dasos Capital funds.   Tune into the podcast here to find out more (in Finnish): https://lnkd.in/dnbGT_Wd 🌳🎧 or find it on Spotify! #naturalcapital #capmannaturalcapital #podcast

📢 Exciting news! CapMan Real Estate’s first EU Taxonomy aligned project has come to completion as both residential apartment buildings of As Oy Turun Hygge have been finalised and tenants have settled in. The two-building complex, located in Turku’s Pukkila neighbourhood, Finland, offers its residents LEED Gold certification and A-energy class level sustainable rental housing. The environmental effects of living have been minimised, extra energy is not wasted on heating, and the housing footprint is small throughout the buildings’ lifecycle. The buildings also use fossil-free energy for their heating and electricity. Construction of the project kicked off in 2022, with the first of the two buildings finalised in January this year, followed by second recently in June. The project is part of CapMan Nordic Real Estate Fund III and was successfully completed together with Finnish construction company Hartela. Hygge’s leasing, property management and financial administration is managed by Asuntopehtoori. Warmly welcoming all tenants to their new homes! 🏠 For more information, contact Charlotta Monto. #capmanrealestate #sustainableliving #nordicrealestate
